Rebates & Credits in PA
PECO offers rebates and credits* for installing natural gas service at your home.
- Up to $600 for qualifying ENERGY STAR natural gas furnaces
- Up to $1,000 for qualifying ENERGY STAR natural gas boilers or combi boilers
- $200 for converting your main or sole heating source to natural gas
These rebates are available to PECO natural gas customers in southern Chester County. For a conversion rebate, customers must replace their current oil, propane, or electric heating systems with a new, qualified natural gas heating system. Additionally, the new system must be the residence’s sole or primary heat source.
Installation Credits:
To enjoy natural gas benefits, we need to determine if you are near a natural gas main and require a service line. If you do not have a natural gas service line, you may be eligible for credits from PECO toward installation costs. In October 2015, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC) approved PECO’s plan to provide more incentives for customers switching to natural gas service, offering larger credits based on usage.
Make the switch today. Apply online or call 1-866-685-5665 (Monday – Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM) to get started.

This was our first time using this company & we will absolutely be using them again. Our technician was extremely knowledgeable & friendly. He really took the time to explain everything to us & didn’t try to sell us something new. I would 100% recommend this company to anybody in the area for any of your heating and cooling needs.Posted on Facebook![]()

My technician, Michael Fields II, assures me that all is well with my systems. I trust his assessment so feel confident that we will stay cool this summer and be warm this winter. He was polite, friendly, considerate, and EXTREEMLY popular with my pets. Bodhi and Baxter, one of the 2 dogs and one of the 2 cats, were very happy to follow him everywhere in the house. All 4 pets waited for him each time he went outside and made sure to get pets upon his return. I love that Michael came back this year and continues to take care of my systems as his father did before him. Very cool! Many thanks, and the crew looks forward to his return!Load more

Justin from Hillside came out to do a tune-up on our heat pump with auxiliary oil and replace a fuel gauge. He was very helpful in answering questions and service was fast, professional, and affordable.Load more
